In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a law that changes any statute. It honors Damarion King, a junior at Morehouse College in Atlanta studying political science with minors in sociology and communications, describing his work as a college minister, his internship with the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation in Washington, D.C., and his service as a legislative intern for Georgia State Representative El-Mahdi Holly. The resolution states that the House recognizes and commends King and wishes him continued health, happiness, and success. It also directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to King. The measure has no regulatory effect and does not alter any Georgia law.
